Brushing

So the old field has had a honeysuckle invasion on the perimeter.  I've been hacking that back an hauling it farther into the woods.  It gives some more working room and lets more light to the tilled soil.  This is solar powered food here! 

 That plastic cube to the right is one of two 275 gallon bulk container which will be the water supply for the farm. Oh yeah, did I mention there is no electricity and no water at this farm?  We'll see how to get around the few times where electric and water are needed on the farm.

Hello World!

Thanks to the generosity of Mary Ellen and Austin of Green Spark Farm, I'll be able to start a farm this fall!

There's about one acre of land, in Cape Elizabeth which I'll be maintaining in organic agriculture, and growing my own stuff.  Neat.

Austin tilled about 3/4 of the acre mid-November, and I got the garlic in just before thanksgiving.  It may not look like much, but that line of straw is gonna be garlic!
